When does the Christmas season begin?

Good question! Some say the Christmas season begins on the day after Halloween. Some have it beginning when the stores first get decorated. Others say the season starts when New York's famous Rockettes and the Radio City Christmas Spectacular. Others say it's when the tree goes up in Rockefeller Center. Still others tie Christmas to the Thanksgiving Day and the Thanksgiving Day Parade. And still others swear it starts when the Rockefeller Christmas Tree is lit in early December. The answer? Christmas starts when you get here!! When you begin your New York Christmas travel is when Christmas starts.

Some say the biggest attraction in NYC at Christmas is the tree at Rockefeller Center. The tree rises on stage above the famous skating rink. The lighting ceremony in early December is a national media event.
